Summary

The man says, "In April 82 I was all astern, but saved my Credit by laying in the way and picking up the crippled Ships - in the Chesepeak all astern - at St. Kitts the Anchor left astern - in the House left my old Friends and Brother Officers all astern and now, alas, I am all astern myself."
